CNGLASS Tea Cups Set of 4 Double Wall Glass, 5.1oz Asian Insulated Clear Teacups

CNGLASS' tea cups set of 4 double wall glass, 5.1oz Asian-style insulated clear teacups for small servings.

Our score8.6/10

Double wall glass teacups have two layers of glass with an insulating air gap, so tea stays hot longer while the outside stays comfortable to hold. They appeal to home tea drinkers who love watching the color of their brew and want a cup that will not scorch their fingers. Look for durable borosilicate glass that resists thermal shock when hot water hits it, a capacity that matches your usual serving, and a shape that feels balanced in the hand. The floating, layered look is a bonus, but check that the seal is sound so no moisture gets trapped between walls. Dishwasher-safe designs and a comfortable rim make them easy to enjoy every day.
